Shorey to stay..

The Reds have been able to extend the loan of the Villa fullback.  But only ’til the end of January rather than the end of the season as we’d hoped.  Still, this is good news as it’s patently obvious from looking at our squad we need a left-back, and Nicky Shorey has been absolute class [...]

2009, a Reds odyssey..

The last year of the ‘noughties’ has been a fairly eventful one for the Reds, in a decade that has been – for the most part – fairly inauspicious.  We have spent the last ten years languishing in the second tier, worse still, we had a three year sabbatical in the third – we had [...]

Sweet sixteen as Coventry succumb..

Nottingham Forest – 2 Coventry City – 0 Apologies for the tardy report – it’s becoming a bit of a habit, isn’t it?  Unplanned drunken antics and a day full of errands now places are open have made this my first opportunity to try to put into a words a game that – in truth [...]

Forest vs. Coventry City preview..

So here’s the opportunity to finish 2009 on a high, on a run of sixteen games unbeaten.  Gosh.  It’s been quite a calendar year hasn’t it?  With Smoulderwood sacked on Boxing Day 2008, Billy has pretty much been in charge for a year give or take, and what a transformation the wee man has affected [...]

Shorey hands a point to the Reds..

Watford – 0 Nottingham Forest – 0 This wasn’t a classic by any means.  Forest struggled to adapt to the awful cut-up pitch (which looked okay ’til they started playing on it) and never really ‘clicked’ – the home side I thought shaded the game by a decisive margin and will certainly feel aggreived not [...]

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Watford vs. Forest preview..

A Boxing Day trip to Vicarage Road is the time and the place where Forest will offer up their unbeaten credentials to be tested by troubled Watford. Our hosts have been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons with boardroom wrangles that has possibly started to affect matters on the pitch for them, losing [...]

Reds spark Christmas cheer a few days early..

Nottingham Forest – 3 Preston North End – 0 The Reds won this at a stroll, and that’s not a slur on their efforts – they just made it look so easy. It helped that Preston were never really at the races, by the time they’d mustered a chance they’d already conceded two.  All in [...]

Forest vs. Preston North End preview..

Back to the City Ground after Forest’s excellent return-on-matches away from home continued with four points from trips to Sheffield United and Swansea City.  The run of unbeaten games now sits at unlucky thirteen, and we entertain Billy’s old side Preston North End infront of the Sky cameras tomorrow in our last game in Nottingham [...]

Notts County appoint a new media spokeman after fresh crisis..

After the collapse of the Munto Finance deal and Peter Trembling’s management buy-out, the League Two club is as newsworthy as ever with rumours of impending financial meltdown.  To handle the increasing media interest on the dodgy dealings happening at Meadow Lane the Magpies new owner has appointed a man experienced in dealing with a [...]
